Cheese can get inbred

[nocturne flicker]

Stares at his cheese burger

[hoary zodiac]

Nah

They're made with cheap bacteria

There are specific breeds of cheese that uses specific strains of cultivated bacteria

And since it's been cultivated to be safe for consumption

They tend to not introduce genetic diversity into the strain

Habsburg cheese

Literally going extinct because of inbreeding

[nocturne flicker]

Ain't that a coincidence

[hoary zodiac]

But yeah it's quite hard to find bacteria that

Won't mutate

Tastes good

And not toxic

That's why new cheeses are so rare these days

I’m trying to save my moms old MacBook Air Sierra cus it was so slow and laggy. I’ve managed to clear the disk but everytime I go to reinstall Mac it give me this error code "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again," as well as the 6minutes is at -398 seconds. What should I do?

I changed the date to this in the terminal

And now it’s saying no bag entry

[misty sparrow]

It is the game

At least the game fault if you have a gpu with over 8gb vram

[hoary zodiac]

Ehhh

Depends on resolution

It's forgivable if it's above 1080p

At 1080p there is zero excuse

[hoary zodiac]

Forgivble if they actually optimized the game

If not they can rot in hell

[frosty sinew]

[leaden pewter]

So be wary of the power play mat, 1st gen was better meanwhile gen 2 has its fair share of problems but that’s per person based and price is a lil high

[frosty sinew]

thats the version 1

hence why i bought it on ebayu

i saw the 2 was trassh

so i found one somewhere else

[paper verge]

factually ur wron

[frosty sinew]

i changed the switches on my apex pro... oh wait

bro

dude bought a mouse

spent the same moeney on a mouse pad

im just sayin that cuz im jelouse bro

[frosty sinew]

hey i got it for 50$ cad on fb marketplace

working

damn

thats a deal

fs

[frosty sinew]

it was an hour drive but worth it

[frosty sinew]

yeah considering the cost of it new lo

ngl the ad had me sold

[misty sparrow]

i'm still getting recommendations on YT about that BF6 catgirl cheater 💀

[wraith fern]

g502s are fine

i feel like with everything else logitech its sorta out of date nowadays

i used one for years and liked it

theyre just not good for gaming, but good for everything else

[misty sparrow]

might be better than razer i guess

[wraith fern]

hm

ive never liked razer stuff

their mice seem ok but overpriced for what they are

im using a ninjutso sora which ive been liking

[tranquil pebble]

only buy when on discount. The MSRP of them is too high mostly.

[wraith fern]

yes i agree

ive just never bought their products

had a headset a few years ago and it snapped in half 😂

[tranquil pebble]

I was a Razer fan for... not very long until I discovered how bad they could be, and the better alternatives.

[frosty sinew]

I have bigger hands and I just rlly like how it feels

[north crescent]

I was a Razer fan for a bit as a kid, but never got any Razer stuff.

[frosty sinew]

Yeah true

[frosty sinew]

And the powerplay 2 is just bad

[wraith fern]

yeah i used the g502 for a while and i liked it

just a bit heavy for me

[frosty sinew]

I love heavy mice

[wraith fern]

hah

i thought i did too but then i started using a 39g mouse and its great

[frosty sinew]

I tried one

Just too fast

[lone mango]

pulsar x2h

[frigid stag]

they have the best sensor so

dav4> all

[wraith fern]

what makes their sensors so much better

if all it is is that they can run at a higher hz then thats not useful

[frigid stag]

pixart gives it to them exclusively for a while if thats what you mean if not go research how sensors work

mice have been able to run 8khz for about 4 years so no

had that with atompalm
and rvv2/dav3

[lone mango]

You really have a thing for redditors

[frigid stag]

its true 💀

speaking of that you can get a 14600k now for 150 with bf6 and assassins creed

basically free

[wraith fern]

8khz is not useful

ill say it that anything past 1khz isnt useful

[frigid stag]

rage bait

[wraith fern]

no ragebait

its just not useful

[lone mango]

Nah its true

[frigid stag]

must be stuck on 60hz laggy pc

[wraith fern]

what

i have a 300hz monitor

[frigid stag]

so? theres 240hz monitors with higher latency than 165

[wraith fern]

we're talking about mice here

[frigid stag]

yes you need a low latency high refresh enough monitor to see it

[fossil venture]

any of yall know about this website is it real or a scam ?

[frigid stag]

and a pc which is low latency

[wraith fern]

we're coping here

[fossil venture]

Chat gpt sent me it saying it’s a website where you can finance gaming laptops with 0 dollars down

[wraith fern]

no 240hz monitors have 165ms response times

[frigid stag]

what

???

[wraith fern]

oh my bad you said latency

[frigid stag]

higher latency than 165hz monitors

[wraith fern]

i just dont think 8khz on a mouse is really useful

1khz is all you need

[frigid stag]

well its wrong blurbusters has an article on why 1khz isnt enough from 4 years ago

[wraith fern]

lol ok

you wanna send it here

[frigid stag]

youd have to be on a bloated pc/ slow monitor to not notice it

1 sec

[wraith fern]

really

i struggle to think you could notice a different from 0.001s to 0.00012s

[dense locust]

real company apparently but i read the interest is bad

[wraith fern]

especially considering human response time is always greater than 0.1s realistically

[fossil venture]

As long as I can get the laptop shipped to me for 0 dollars then I’m ok with that

[frigid stag]

https://forums.blurbusters.com/viewtopic.php?t=9785

[dense locust]

They make you pay for 18 months. I didnt add up the build costs but they sell a monitor thats $129 on amazon for 28 a month. Thats $504!!!

sounds like you can only pay in interest payments

[wraith fern]

thats not an article is it

[fossil venture]

Damn

[wraith fern]

you linked a forum

[fossil venture]

What if I don’t pay

[frigid stag]

if youre one of those “people have 200ms reaction time so latency doesnt matter” people im done

[wraith fern]

no thats not what i said

[dense locust]

[frigid stag]

the article is in the forum

the post is written by blurbusters staff

[fossil venture]

They will only try to take it out of my taxes right

[wraith fern]

so i have a question

how would you percieve something that your monitor cant display

1000hz is more than any monitor

so then why is 8000 better

[frigid stag]

🤦‍♀️

latency is cumulative it adds up

[dense locust]

I've finally paid off my gaming rig and this is the final damage. It was 37 payments of 160 dollars, so somewhere around 5,000 dollars. I've calculated the cost of build to be in the 2,500 dollar range.

my god lol this company IS a scam

[wraith fern]

thast how most companies like that are

[frigid stag]

why dont u try use a 125hz on a 120hz monitor

[wraith fern]

why would i use 125hz

[dense locust]

My only complaint in this is I think they could have added a better graphics card with it, I can run everything on ultra anyway but I think the graphics card could be just a little better, let me know your thoughts.

[wraith fern]

what mouse do you have that uses 125hz

[dense locust]

average redditor

"i paid 2x the price but the gpu sucks thats my only complaint"

[frigid stag]

any mouse. you can change polling rate lmao

[fossil venture]

So if I don’t pay they will only take it from my taxes right ?

[frigid stag]

consoles are also 125hz

[wraith fern]

sure but why would i

im just saying that over 1000hz isnt really necessary

[fossil venture]

There is a 250 dollar gaming laptop I have 2 monitors I’m trying to trade for it

[wraith fern]

it seems like theres s avery minor difference in 8000hz vs 1000hz

its there

but if its perceivable other than tests i dont know

i can do 8000 but i dont for a reason

[frigid stag]

read the article

[wraith fern]

i did

it was interesting

[frigid stag]

theres also links to their twitter replies in the forum post

[dense locust]

they apparently locked your account

and your pc

[fossil venture]

Oh damn

[dense locust]

so uh i wouldnt trust them

[wraith fern]

this doesnt support your argument without any information past 1000hz

its what they say but with no evidence then its not solid proof

[frigid stag]

it shows theres microstutters and 1k isnt enough

[wraith fern]

sure but they dont show 2k

[frigid stag]

read the rest of the article

[wraith fern]

whos to say 2k doesnt have microstutters

[frigid stag]

never said it was exhaustive

[dense locust]

i wonder how they lock the pc

[fossil venture]

Same

I have 2 monitors where can I sell them

[wraith fern]

@frigid stag article says 2k is the max that you can perceive

guh

your argument buns

[dense locust]

2k what?

[frigid stag]

where does it say that?

[dense locust]

[wraith fern]

right here

[wraith fern]

2khz polling rate for a mouse

[frigid stag]

the article not some random guy who replied to the twitter post

[wraith fern]

?

the site admin is a moron?

[lone mango]

https://youtu.be/zaF6yWlKgwU

[wraith fern]

if you think that then why would you link this?

[frigid stag]

this isnt the site admin

[wraith fern]

yes i tis

its in his post

im concerned you havent read this

[frigid stag]

this is the article https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3472749.3474783

[wraith fern]

your argument seems to be lacking a heavy foundation

[frigid stag]

in the forum

[lone mango]

If I were to increase polling it would probably be 4k for less cpu usage

[frigid stag]

what foundation? all that matters is if you can tell the difference if you cant that article doesnt matter for you

however if youre going to project and say no one else can notice it then youre wrong

[wraith fern]

why are you acting like mouse pollign rate needs to be exclusive?

[frigid stag]

???

[wraith fern]

youre acting like im not good enough to have a high polling rate mouse

[wraith fern]

i run 2k and its fine

[frigid stag]

the entry point is around 30-40$

[wraith fern]

are there really 30 dollar mice that run 2khz?

[frigid stag]

who said anything about it being “exclusive”

[wraith fern]

youre acting like it

[frigid stag]

8khz capable sensor yeah

not all come with the dongle though

[lone mango]

But the difference between the two would be even smaller though

[wraith fern]

i dont really care

[frigid stag]

so youd need to run them wired

[wraith fern]

hm

yeah

[frigid stag]

all i said was what matters is if you notice it or not

[lone mango]

Pulsar has a dongle but I dont want to pay more for fps drops

[frigid stag]

if you cant then the article doesnt matter to you at all

just dont try and say no one can notice it

[wraith fern]

i didnt

[frigid stag]

^

[wraith fern]

lol

thats not me saying you cant notice it

are we for real?

[frigid stag]

also this

[wraith fern]

sure

useful

[frigid stag]

which is even funnier

[wraith fern]

didnt say you cant notice it

lol

[frigid stag]

why wouldnt you use it when its smoother and a 30$ mouse supports it

[wraith fern]

thats not what we're talking about right now bro

youre changing the topic

typical poor debate foundation cope

[frigid stag]

whats useful depends on the person

[frigid stag]

what

[wraith fern]

sure

i dont deny that

but youre saying that i said you cant notice it

which is not true

[frigid stag]

it was pretty well implied

[wraith fern]

no it wasnt

you want it to be implied

[frigid stag]

whats your metric for useful then?

you could apply the same for high refresh monitors, high end mousepads, high end tuned pcs etc

[frigid stag]

gaslighting 101

if its a better experience its useful

[wraith fern]

thats just situational then

anyways goodbye

[frigid stag]

no but if you cant tell 60hz apart from higher then its not useful for you for example

so theres exceptions

but in general most people will notice the difference

You'd have better profit margins and better quality if you go all used

Especially with AM4

[merry yoke]

where should i buy them then

[hoary zodiac]

Anywhere?

Used market prices are highly regional

[deep parcel]

you might be able to find that cpu and mobo for cheaper on FB marketplace

same with the ram

[merry yoke]

new psu would be ok

since used psus are risky

[deep parcel]

yeah that one is a little too low end

[hoary zodiac]

Bit less than low end imo

you could buy a cheap nvme ssd that would have way more performance than that sata ssd

[deep parcel]

the sata ssd would be great for a game drive

[merry yoke]

ok

[hoary zodiac]

pm96x shouldn't be that expensive

[hoary zodiac]

Probably still costs more lmao

Used nvmes have eclipsed satas

[atomic current]

sata is badly priced

unless you get a used micron 1100

[hoary zodiac]

They're straight up competing with nvmes so

Unless it has dram and you want the durability of say

An 860 evo

Because you're using it as a scratch disk

Then yeah

Otherwise no

[dense locust]

dont sata ssds use the same chips as nvme?

just held back by sata speeds

[hoary zodiac]

Yes

[deep parcel]

sometimes they do

[hoary zodiac]

That's why they don't make sata anymore

[dense locust]

make a new sata that uses 4 lanes

[hoary zodiac]

Just doesn't make sense

[deep parcel]

sata 4 when?

[hoary zodiac]

Sata protocol is way too limiting

[hoary zodiac]

Probably enterprise tbh

~~SAS 4 when ~~

[atomic current]

did they stop putting sata on gamer boards

[deep parcel]

nope

but im glad that mobos still have the option of sata

[hoary zodiac]

Oh wait sas 4 is a thing

Sas 5 when

[atomic current]

I just want sata for nas purposes now

[hoary zodiac]

Wait

Sas 3 have double the bandwidth as sata 3

Is this for a single drive tho hmm

[atomic current]

I'm sure that's great for sas ssds

[hoary zodiac]

I'm thinking more

A crap load of drives

Sas is pretty flexible

iirc you can plug sata drives into a sas hba

Not the other way around

[atomic current]

yeah I think so

[hoary zodiac]

You can even have a breakout cable going to another chassis

Let's say you have a sff case and you don't have a case

Get a drive cage with a backplane

Get a sas hba

Plug it in

Are we really using the margin of error to argue that a product is superior

💀

[wraith fern]

well it had a 0.0001C temp difference

not negligable

i can tell the difference

[hoary zodiac]

Can you even measure that

[wraith fern]

no

to my knowledge theyre the same

[acoustic palm]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-cat-is-this-bait-cat-is-this-ragebait-gif-10902073105296387701

[wraith fern]

different fans

[hoary zodiac]

My margin of error is one degree

[wraith fern]

well the fans are the same

one is rgb one isnt

same fan though

[hoary zodiac]

Thermalrights are the same

RK120 is cheaper than PA120

They're pretty much the same

[wraith fern]

deepcool is the goat

[hoary zodiac]

PS120 is... A degree or two better

But who cares

[wraith fern]

its a shame theyre sanctioned in the US

[hoary zodiac]

Eh

Deepcool is mid

[wraith fern]

its good bang for buck

[hoary zodiac]

Well

Not anymore

[wraith fern]

what happened

[hoary zodiac]

Thermalright happened

[wraith fern]

oh

right

is thermalright good quality

[hoary zodiac]

Yes

They've been around for ages

[wraith fern]

i have their fans

i would know

[hoary zodiac]

Their whole appeal is that they're high quality for a low price

They own their factories so

[wraith fern]

their fans seem fine

[hoary zodiac]

They can afford the margins

[wraith fern]

ive had no issues

[hoary zodiac]

It's good for the price

[wraith fern]

yes

its cheap

[hoary zodiac]

Their coolers are pretty much

NH-D15 for $27

[wraith fern]

but also i dont think an expensive aio is that good

[hoary zodiac]

They're not

[wraith fern]

like the uhh kraken aios

nzxt

massive waste of money

nobody is looking at a screen on their aio anyways

[hoary zodiac]

The only thing I'm skeptical about is the pump durability on thermalrights

[wraith fern]

thats what i worry about too

thats the first thing to fail anyways

[hoary zodiac]

The krakens are overpriced AND they're trash

[wraith fern]

yeah

[hoary zodiac]

To be fair I'd just get a RK120

They're so cheap it's not even funny

The price/perf is through the roof

[wraith fern]

are you talking about the kraken 120

thats the only thing that come sup

[hoary zodiac]

Thermalright RK120

[wraith fern]

or is it a thermalright thing

ah ok

[hoary zodiac]

It's basically a cheaper PA120

[wraith fern]

holy shit

their website is so ass

i cant even comprehend

[hoary zodiac]

They're an engineering company

They're more interested in the product rather than marketing

[wraith fern]

everytime i open a product not only is there no price it just redirects me to the front page

[hoary zodiac]

Look on pcpartpicker

Don't look at the website for price

Retailers are going to hike the price anyways

[wraith fern]

well clearly

its not on the website

[hoary zodiac]

It's usually $27

[wraith fern]

wait why is this so tuff

[hoary zodiac]

Eh

rgb slop

I don't like flashy stuff that does nothing

I look at my screen not my AIO

[wraith fern]

haha thats how i think too

all my fans are rgb and usually theyre all off

i have like 10

[hoary zodiac]

Bit excessive innit?

There comes a point where they don't contribute anything

Guess it depends on the case but still

[nocturne flicker]

Yeah. That's why I only have 7 now instead of 8

P12 and P14 go brrrrrrrr

My drawer of fans will forever grow fuller

Actually did I even remove that fan?

I don't rember

I did so 7, yes

[lone mango]

Those fans make an annoying noise around 50%

tl c12015 is also pretty noisy

i wonder how the h12015 is because that is supposed to be the better version

[rich pond]

~~guys quick question, checked my gpu and one of the copper things that slot to the mobo are short. is this bad or should i not worry about it~~
nvm just researched it and its intentional

sometimes i forget about gooble

[dense locust]

[nocturne flicker]

Globules of galloping, gobbling goobles

[honest birch]

no they arent

lt720 had the updated pump

ls720 used their older pump

iirc the SE is a bit different but i assume you mean the standard ls720

also uses the old pump

im trying to find a benchmark with both but i cant

here we go

4c not margin of error

[wraith fern]

ah interesting

not too useful for me but yeah if you have a hotter cpu

[honest birch]

yeah im just saying they are a bit different

and when i got mine they were the same price at microcenter

but now u cant even buy deepcool shit lol

[wraith fern]

yeah they got sanctioned

for selling to russia

not very smart

[honest birch]

dont they have another brand now

cant remember the name

[wraith fern]

probably

[elfin mural]

that's deepcool that you're thinking of

i think

thermalright is still thermalright in the us

yeup, it's deepcool

i researched a bit to remind myself

[lone mango]

Does anybody else have this thing with helldivers 2 where the game feels like 50 fps when its way more than that

the menu is really smooth but the game feels really weird

as if the framerate is all over the place and is low or something

its so weird i cant really describe it well

im getting about 130 fps but it feels like 40, or if i have a 60hz screen and i am getting more than that in game

Oh I think its the camera when I look around

Yeah its smooth but not smooth

I think that is the camera jittering around

Ok so the game turned on motion blur by itself

Turning that off helped but it is still weird when you look around

[elfin mural]

hm

maybe gpu drivers?

or the game is tweaking out

[lone mango]

Well that is pretty smooth

[lone mango]

Something with the game but not fps related

[elfin mural]

vsync?

adaptive sync?

[remote marten]

Yo i got like 2 small bags that i am missing from my gpu packaging (support bracket and adapter) will i get charged extra for the return

[lone mango]

Found it

Mouse smoothing needs to be on

[honest birch]

[craggy shoal]

Ahhhh, EV?

350????

[frosty sinew]

Yep all watercooled

[frosty sinew]

Lemme verify that

[craggy shoal]

Bro 350 in that thing is dangerous lmaooo

It might as well be the entry car to Formula Kart, just to make the series a thing lol

[frosty sinew]

iirc its 400kw

[frosty sinew]

formula sae

but clost enough

its so fun

i love RIT

[craggy shoal]

Wait so it's an actual thing?

[frosty sinew]

yeah its for uni

[craggy shoal]

WHAT

536 bruh wtf

[frosty sinew]

or wait

nah thats

im getting confused

i think its 300kw

400 horse

[craggy shoal]

lol

[frosty sinew]

its over 300 tho

[craggy shoal]

400 hp is insane still

[frosty sinew]

yeah esp when its 400 lbs

[craggy shoal]

Bro thinks he's a One:1 lolll

One:1 but in pounds lol

[frosty sinew]

ok google is saying 107hp but the guy told me 300 (I have no clue atp lol)

[craggy shoal]

Interesting. TIL

[frosty sinew]

idek atp

[craggy shoal]

Drive it and see what it feels like lolll

[frosty sinew]

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I'd imagine

[frosty sinew]

next yr

trust

[craggy shoal]

Bro gonna become a racer

I went to the wrong school fr

[frosty sinew]

nah

probably join the team tho

electrical engineering

[craggy shoal]

I don't think I have the skill to be good at handling that thing lol

The skill to race? Sure. Body built? Not at all (I'd be adding ~200lbs to it). Skills to handle that car specifically? Definitely not 💀

[frosty sinew]

me neither

its all manual lol

[craggy shoal]

Manual it what sense?

[frosty sinew]

steering

[craggy shoal]

Ahhh of course

[pliant berry]

which windows update was the one causing drive problems?

[frosty sinew]

3678 iirc

Idk for sure

Its the latest sucirty update

[pliant berry]

the laast one I seem to have is 3875 hmm

just wanted to make sure cuz im running a p41 and don't want anything to happen to this project i've been working on for the past month

[frosty sinew]

Fair

[sinful blade]

Is the new G502X out yet

[misty sparrow]

if it works, it works

[frosty sinew]

Which one

I LITERALLY just bought a g502x plus yesterday

[misty sparrow]

oh wow, getting some crazy lag spikes on every game on this other PC

dont know where to start

[frosty sinew]

Thermals

Hw monitor and look

Also internet

[misty sparrow]

i've been wondering if it is a driver problem but i'll check thermals too

[frosty sinew]

Also id see what's acc doing it

Is gpu, cpu, ram

Usually its just one

That like spikes

[sinful blade]

2025 model

[frosty sinew]

mother fu

the 502x plus has 200 tho?

[sinful blade]

Might be different SKU

I may be violating a thing so I’m gonna delete just in case

[atomic current]

Whart

[sinful blade]

I’m illegal

Hp gonna hunt me down

[elfin mural]

hp won't hunt you down

hinge problems are gonna keep them at bay

[sinful blade]

If I die, it was Hewlett or Packard

[fossil venture]

I got a old pc with some good parts I want to sell

[sinful blade]

I’ll give you $6

[fossil venture]

I don’t know how to go about it

[elfin mural]

sell em on jawa i guess

[fossil venture]

What is jawa

[elfin mural]

jawa.gg

[fossil venture]

Can you send me the link

[elfin mural]

https://www.jawa.gg/

[sinful blade]

Jawa, eBay, or fbmp

[frosty sinew]

oh frick

i forgot i was in the us lol

i can use that

i wish we had this in canad

[proud jackal]

[sinful blade]

@proud jackal theolizard

[misty sparrow]

I wonder if it’s good to buy old GPUs from here

like RTX 2xxx series?

it’s crazy how that’s basically old now

[elfin mural]

yeah

the prices are decent enough

[misty sparrow]

I also might need RAM and storage so

[sinful blade]

@misty sparrow if you’re shopping GPU’s

Go for official Jawa store on there
Some sellers like @lone ibex has some good prices for prebuilts, but most GPU’s on there have a slight markup if theyre newer

[misty sparrow]

Honestly for this old PC I'm using right now, not too sure if I should even bother upgrading it

Specifically because

• It's a prebuilt, specifically Alienware
• Not a huge upgrade path
• Anything I buy for it, probably won't make a huge return if I sell it

[sinful blade]

Nah, just sell for cheap

[misty sparrow]

don't know how much this thing is worth, probably not much now though

[sinful blade]

Specs?

[misty sparrow]

i5-8400, 10606GB

24GB ram

has a 4TB HDD + 1TB SSD

[lone mango]

[royal crow]

Fr

[velvet summit]

Oh shi tiny child

🤏

[royal crow]

Wtf

[atomic current]

Mixing cl9 and cl11 is fine right

[velvet summit]

They'll probably just run at cl12 or something on amd

[atomic current]

The ddr3

On has well

1600

[velvet summit]

Idk if Intel has anything like infinity fabric so it might both just run cl11 then?

[misty sparrow]

don't worry, I'll buy GTA6 for you

no child left behind

[velvet summit]

Isn't gta6 rated 17+

[misty sparrow]

yes

https://tenor.com/view/mods-send-in-diddy-mods-ltg-low-tier-god-meme-gif-228742818489670441

[atomic current]

Probably not for Intel hardware that predates ryzen

I guess I should try it out

I have another kit that's cl9 but it's in my old computer and I don't wanna pull it out to put in the server I'm building

So two mixed cl kits of 8gb 1600 it is :3

[sinful blade]

Keep the storage, sell for $125

[misty sparrow]

selling a PC without a storage drive is crazy

[sinful blade]

send me the storage, I need it

[sinful blade]

Happens all the time
A lot of eBay stuff does

[misty sparrow]

do you think I could get away with $200

[atomic current]

Honestly sell computers with a 2tb hard drive

That's what mine came with when I bought ut

[rancid juniper]

once all anti-cheat likes linux is over for windows fr

[misty sparrow]

microsoft continually failing to manage game studios is crazy

[rancid juniper]

Buying off so many IPs just to either sit on them or outright cancel them is horrible. Their stupid multi-billion dollar plans blew right in their faces

[misty sparrow]

Only exception is really just Minecraft

then again they don't update it that much

[rancid juniper]

yep

[misty sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/sleep-gif-27036897

Honestly if Ubisoft sank their massive budget into a Rayman game it would probably sell well

It doesn't even need a massive budget too

Maybe like $50mil or less

Don't worry the next Bethesda dumpster fire will always be greenlit

[rancid juniper]

Ah yes "Starfield 2"

[misty sparrow]

any of you know a way to cleanly install CPU drivers? i can do this for GPU but not for the CPU

[nocturne flicker]

Delete the cpu

Ez

I dunno, just uninstall them as usual?

And then install the new ones

[rancid juniper]

go to myezdrivers.com and download the latest cpu drivers

[misty sparrow]

and it'll remove the old drivers?

[rancid juniper]

heck yea (trust)

you running AMD perchance?

[nocturne flicker]

Digital Rights Management, protects copyright and proprietary stuff

'Protects'

[worthy meteor]

the hope is one day for a non-intrusive DRM that has zero performance impact and doesn't impede anyone that rightfully owns the game

Never gonna happen

i don't think that day will ever come

the score created for kai is way better

sorry I anime'd in #general

[lone mango]

I think eac and battleye have a linux client

Just the matter of implementation

And maybe because linux users are more tistic they are more likely to get around these clients

[lone mango]

Yeah and they operate in the user space

Linux does not like kernel level access

[lone mango]

Same thing with helldivers 2 on linux as well

Also epic expanded support with eac relating to wine and proton because at first it was for native linux games

But le frickin linux cheaters dude...

[rancid juniper]

yes the 3 linux gamers will be happy

Good

A video game shouldn't have kernel level access

[royal crow]

24 ultra

25 ultra is horse crap

why

my dad has the 24

[royal crow]

The 25 ultra is a worse version of the 24 ultra

[nocturne flicker]

Buy older phone. S23 cheaper

Not a S22 tho

S23 fixed some issues with power efficiency and overheating

[tranquil pebble]

its all about endless chasing of quarterly profit increases

[royal crow]

S22 ultra goated

My dad's lasted until abt a year ago

[tranquil pebble]

people lose their jobs over this bs all the time too

[royal crow]

We traded em in

[lone mango]

Not goated then

Oh nvm

Thought it broke or something

[nocturne flicker]

I dunno about the ultra models but the normal ones had bad efficiency and over heating issues

[royal crow]

Screen got cracked at one point but other than that if worked great

[hoary zodiac]

Meanwhile I just spend < 400 on a phone and slap a custom rom on it

[royal crow]

Weird

[nocturne flicker]

I've experienced it. I keep power saving mode on by default so mine doesn't get too warm

[hoary zodiac]

[royal crow]

Haven't experienced any problems with my s25+

[hoary zodiac]

Or does it use SD

[nocturne flicker]

SD 8 Gen 1

Gen 2 is better

[tranquil pebble]

my phone has SD 8 Gen 2

OnePlus 11
